Chapter 5 Mysterious Buddha Statue
"Songhe Jue"
Quality: acquired skills
Introduction: The Lin family’s unique internal strength has its own infuriating energy with slightly lower lethality and comes with recuperative effects. After being practiced, it has a slight effect of prolonging life. It can be cultivated up to the state of acquired perfection.
Strengthening requirements: 4 points
…
Martial arts secrets can indeed be strengthened!
Lin Shan held the Songhe Jue book in his hand. This skill can be practiced to perfection the day after tomorrow, which is the peak of Mingjin. If it is placed in the world, it is enough to cause a mad rush!
Naturally, the Lin family does not hide their secrets from the outer sect, but the innate skills of the town clan have always been controlled by the head of the family. The outer sect's skills are not lethal enough, but fortunately they can prolong life and have a chance of cultivating first-class masters.
Once a top-notch expert appears in the outer sect, the Lin family will recruit them as elders of the outer sect. At the same time, they will not pose too much of a threat to the direct lineage and prevent them from taking the lead.
This Songhe Gong is already a skill that can be used to cultivate the acquired peak, so if it can be strengthened...
"Xiantian! It must be Xiantian Kung Fu!"
Lin Shan clenched his fists excitedly. The upper limit of a skill will naturally increase its lower limit!
When practicing the innate skills, the quality, power, cultivation speed and depth of the innate skills are naturally far superior to the acquired skills! If Lin Shan can modify the innate skills, it will definitely greatly improve the progress of his training and lay a solid foundation for the future!
However, there is no way to even think about the Lin family’s innate skills. He, Lin Shan, is not the clan leader’s biological son, so there is no way he can get his turn!
"From acquired to innate, it takes 4 points to make the leap..."
Lin Shan began to think about how to obtain the ancient rhyme. The previous painting of "Spring River Playing Mandarin Ducks" absorbed 5 points, and now there are still 3 points left.
The innate skills are right at your fingertips!
…
Half an hour later, the family foreign affairs hall.
"Deacon, this is the errand I received today."
Lin Shan respectfully handed the identity token to the bald middle-aged man in front of him, sighing inwardly that the foreign affairs hall was really full of trivial matters and laborious. The deacon in front of him was bald when he was less than 40 years old.
The deacon looked at the task card of "Pawnshop Jobman" and felt very blank. He registered it hastily and waved: "Go!"
…
When Lin Shan left Lin Mansion, the streets outside were bustling with people coming and going, the sound of hawking could be heard constantly, and people rushing to go to the early market were in a hurry.
Arriving in front of an antique shop in the east of the city, the plaque on the facade was decorated with five large characters in gold paint.
"Lin's Pawn Shop!"
One of the industries of the Lin Mansion is the pawn shop with the best reputation and reputation in the huge Qinghe County!
Usually when city people need to buy property or need money for business, they will use valuable gold, silver, jade, or antiques collected at home to pawn shops for loans.
Naturally, there are experienced and professional appraisers in the store to determine the authenticity, so most of the items that can be mortgaged are genuine. Currently, Lin Shan can think of the most convenient place to find antiques.
After all, after he got the "Ancient Charm" enhancement point by chance last time, he went through all the things he could find around him, but he couldn't find anything with "Ancient Charm" anymore.
Lin Shan pondered hard, why only "Picture of Mandarin Ducks Playing on the Spring River" has "ancient charm", but other things do not? The difference between them is...
Antiques? Or folk fame?
Although he was still very vague in his mind, it was a direction, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to work at the pawn shop and test his speculation.
Anyway, there are a lot of antiques to be pawned, and he doesn't need to take them away. As long as he can touch them personally and absorb the ancient charm, Lin Shan's calculations are going loudly...
Entering the store, there are antique coffee tables and chairs in the living room, as well as rockeries and flowing water to decorate the facade. Next to it is an iron door and a counter. A silver-haired old man is taking a nap on a wicker chair, fanning himself.
"Shopkeeper, I'm at Linshan, the outer gate of Xialin's house. I'm here to take orders..."
Naturally, the shopkeeper is also a member of the Lin family, and the person appointed to take charge of the business is of course one of his own. At this time, he opened his eyes and glanced here, and found that he had run errands today, and he was too lazy to get up, so he thought to himself:
"Well, I'm here a little early. Since there aren't many guests now, go ahead and wipe these treasures on the shelves in the back hall!"
The shopkeeper threw him a bunch of keys and ignored him. Naturally, Lin Shan couldn't help but opened the locked iron door and entered the back hall.
The back hall is larger than the living room, with eight rows of shelves, five feet wide. On them are various gold and silver jewelry, antique agate, landscape calligraphy and painting, etc., all of which are mortgage items.
"My dear, with so many treasures, I am worthy of being the leader of the county pawn shop!"
Lin Shan nervously wrung out the rag and started tying it up from the beginning. He was very careful with every move. He couldn't even afford to pay for this thing if he broke one of it and sold it.
Outer disciples only had one tael of silver per month. In the past ten years, because Lin Shan was growing up and practicing martial arts, he had to save only 20 or 30 taels of money.
…
A quarter of an hour passed. Lin Shan finished wiping the first row of shelves and touched all the treasures on them. No prompts appeared.
There are so many treasures and antiques, but none of them meet the requirements! Lin Shan now realizes that his previous thoughts were too simple!
But that’s right, if you could just casually come across antiques with ancient charm, I wouldn’t have turned on the Golden Finger for ten years. There are seven rows of shelves behind, and the dishes are coming!
…
Soon, the second shelf was wiped and nothing happened!
third row,
fourth row,
…
Finally, he checked the eight rows of shelves carefully, and there was no hint from Mao!
Lin Shan's heart felt as cold as a gust of cold wind blowing in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
If there is a BGM at this time, it will undoubtedly be a song for him!
"How is that possible! "The Picture of Mandarin Ducks Playing on the Spring River" is only a masterpiece that has been handed down for five hundred years!
Looking at the labels, there are also antiques with older vintages, so why are there none?"
Lin Shan was puzzled as to why "The Picture of Mandarin Ducks Playing on the Spring River" contained ancient rhyme. We are all antiques, so what's the difference?
Unconsciously, it was already noon outside, and the sun was shining brightly, scorching the streets. The shop was still cool and airy, and the shopkeeper probably saw that he was devoted to the dish, so he filled the ice cubes next to the incense burner.
Lin Shan walked out of the shop boredly and looked at the bustling street in front of the door. People were coming and going, all busy, running for a living.
"If I couldn't find the ancient charm and strengthen the panel, would I be like them and live a mediocre life..."
Lin Fan sighed in his heart, from last night to this morning, because the ecstasy of discovering Golden Finger was gone, he had to let go of himself to adjust his mood in the ups and downs.
After a long time, when I returned to the store, there was still generally no business in the pawn shop.
Lin Shan looked around and suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a pile of something hidden on the dark back of the last row of shelves.
"Huh? These things are not on the shelves. It seems that they have not been taken care of for a long time."
When he walked up to it, he found some old antiques, covered with dust and cobwebs. Lin Shan picked up the account book next to him and flipped through it before he realized that these were overdue mortgage treasures. They were vacated after a long time before their owners could redeem them.
He moved to the corner.
The general rule is that if the original owner who comes to pawn a mortgage loan cannot repay on time, the interest will be doubled! If you can't repay during the interest rate increase period, then I'm sorry, your heirloom will not be surnamed you but Lin!
The batch of goods in front of me is about to expire, and no one has cared about it for many years, so it is piled in a corner.
Naturally, Lin Shan couldn't let it go. He would seize the slightest chance of obtaining Gu Yun! Holding Ning Shacuo in his arms, he would not let it go, and reached out to touch each one...
After a while, when he finally touched the last lotus Buddha statue, which was nearly a foot in size, the belated panel appeared in front of him:
"Mysterious Buddha Statue"
Ancient rhyme: 1 point
Chapter completed!
